For a brief miderstanding of the invention generally, it may be stated that it consists in furnishing e basket, such asV com'- ronly employed in Washing machinery for gelding dishes, with stationary means at tno bottom for supporting and spacing s lower layer of cups, and e removableitmy adapted to be supported Within thetop of the basket for corryin an upper layer of cups, although it is wit in the scope of my invention to construct the removable tray raining the lovv'ermostI layer of in such a manner as to adapt it for silver-I were or other articles of similar character.

The removable tray is preferably provided with means for supporting -it in verticel position on one of the 'side Walls while permiting access to the bottom of the bei' het, so that it may be kept in e convenient place while the lower layer of clips is being positioned.

Attached to the bottom on? the basket are e series of cup supporting members in the form of strips b which are preferably made of wood and moy be sttached in any manner. The cupe are adapted to have their sides rest upon the supporting members b,

with the handles turned downwardly, as shown in Fig. l, end arranged above the supporting members ere a series of spacing members or strips disposed at right angles to the supporting members, as designated at he spacing members c are preferablyy part of a frame including end pieces c which is secured to the walls of the 'basket in any convenient manner. The spacing members c are provided withenlargements or projections 02 for s acing the cups of each series, the cups eing arranged alternately in opposite directions. Thus, the recess c3, formed by the projections 02, receives the bottom of a cup, whereas the same spacing member or strip receives the 1min be in thu ing;
